    Has anyone ever covered a supply boat for trawler use?

    RT, I've read your post for years and years and always enjoyed your humor. I will never take anything you say the wrong way. This forum is great for bouncing ideas around and getting great feedback. You be you and i'll be broke for the rest of my life. I figure I will have about 300 in this...

    Has anyone ever covered a supply boat for trawler use?

    I wish I would have taken some pictures but I wasn’t really considering it till I got home. Right now someone else owns the boat, the yard is about to put a lien on it and if they get it they want $110k for it, everything is supposed to work on it. I don’t know about the draft but I do know it...

    Has anyone ever covered a supply boat for trawler use?

    The steel hull is strong, the length will help with the speed and accommodations and the age is actually indicative of better materials used during the original build. Believe it or not 100’ is only 35’ longer than my current boat. When we make a good trip I’ll have 9 people on it and it gets...

    Has anyone ever covered a supply boat for trawler use?

    Are we at critical mass?

    My apologies Mr. KnotYet, you are correct. I don't like when that happens to me and now I've done it. Cheers Paul

    Are we at critical mass?

    How do y'all have so many people over 100, is it not cold up there? Is it the Molson beer? haha just kidding. I've been boating and drinking all day. Cheers

    Are we at critical mass?

    Sooo. what city are you hanging out in with all the packed shelves? Were they packed a year ago when all this pandemic hit the fan? I take my gun culture guns to the woods and had plenty of food, i didn't mention food. I mention things that are not a necessity. I mention water front lots and...

    Are we at critical mass?

    Just pondering the thought of critical mass in humanity. Are we there? Im not talking about mass starvation and global illnesses I'm talking about 1st world critical mass. Were I live there are zero water front lots for sale, they have all been bought. In my work place (bulkheads/piers) its...

    Maybe you should take the money and buy a dirt home, grief like yours over a pet might be better served without the added stress of a boat (maintence and upkeep)
